Our Weatherpro awning is 5 years old. Every year in the five we have had the same symptoms (motor overheats, clicks when switch activated, then cools and will move a few inches more). The fixes have been to adjust the spring, adjust the fabric, lubricate the move points, seal the motor to keep the rain out, and the last fix has been to replace the motor. Note. If you are going to try to adjust the spring yourself, be very careful. A tech who did ours ended up with a broken hand when he made a mistake and did not secure the spring good enough.
Lucky for us, we have an extended warranty that has paid for all these repairs and each time it has worked well for the entire length of our trip (6-7 months). It has not been, however, a piece of equipment that I would recommend. Next coach will have another brand.
